Event Creations · Bespoke Event Planning, Production & Italian Catering in New York and New JerseyYou bring the vision. We handle everything else.

Tell us how the day should feel. We can design and run the whole event, coordinate the one you're planning, or bring a single service — Italian catering, a private chef, the pizza truck — so you can be a guest at your own event.

What "everything" means

  1. One point of contact.

    One conversation, from the first call to the final breakdown. You talk to us; we talk to everyone else.

  2. Built around your budget.

    Tell us what you'd like to invest. We propose what fits your event — nothing you don't need.

  3. Italian in the way we host.

    Warmth, generosity and attention to every guest — our approach to hospitality, whatever the theme, the venue or the menu of your event.

Three ways to work with us

The whole event, the planning, or one piece of it.

Choose how much you hand over: the whole event, the planning and coordination with the vendors you prefer, or a single service — Italian catering and Private Chef Dining included. Neither our catering nor full production is ever required. We work across New York and New Jersey, with a particular focus on Manhattan.

How we build it

Four areas. All of them, or just one.

For a complete event, Full Event Production holds it all together — design, entertainment and our culinary experiences. Each area also works on its own, from a floral design to Italian catering or a private chef dinner. Every proposal uses just the areas your event needs.
